  • So these were never real friendships on your part? You only care about these women if they have sex with you and any time you spend with them that isn't leading to sex is wasted?

  • Is it not worth it for you to be friends with a woman? Is such a friendship worthless? What's the problem with being friends with women?

  • Or, and hear me out here, you practice seeing women as people, thereby improving your quality of life and your ability to have friendships with all different sorts of people.

  • Hey, so, uh, you have some misogynist brainworms you're definitely going to need to work through.

    It's very, very clear from the way you write that you view women as a confusing monolith, as though every woman is the same as every other woman and you just don't understand the "cheat codes" to get women to have sex with you.

    But that point of view is extremely incorrect. Women are people. Just like you. "Women" don't want to be chased, some women do (and likely fewer than you think, actually, and also, there are men you want to be chased, even though societally we never hear about them). "Women" aren't complicated to talk to, some women are difficult to talk to for the same reasons some men are difficult to talk to!

    Women aren't a particular way, any more than men are a particular way, and if you treat women as a separate species to you, if you treat them as a monolithic confusing enigma, rather than as people, you will definitely struggle to have decent relationships with them.

  • You seem to really hate rich women (specifically women, I don't detect the same hatred for rich men in your comments in this thread), in a way that's ringing my "this person might have some unexamined misogynist brainworms" alarm. Do you? Can you please try to give yourself a brainworm check on this topic? Brainworms are sneaky little buggers, and it's always worthwhile to find and excise them.

  • I know for me it's still hard, 7 years later. I do NOT like doing injections. But with T it's really the only option (that I can afford, gel also exists, but is much more expensive). So I just have to do it.

    I have a ritual where I drink 2 (alcoholic) drinks to get through it, one before and one after. I wish I didn't have to use alcohol to get through my injections every week, but here we are. It's often the only 2 drinks I have all week, so like, whatever, it's cool. Alcohol has been considered medicinal in quite a few contexts for thousands of years, so I too can have a little medically necessary alcohol once a week.

  • Biscuits isn't saying you support Trump. Biscuits is saying that joke feels like a joke a Trump supporter would tell. And I have to agree. It's not a funny joke, it's not a good joke, it would make me think less of someone if they told it to me as though it's funny.

  • Please don't eat animals.

  • Oh my god, I'd forgotten about the pirates!! That book is such hot garbage, holy shit

  • Late-game Silksong boss I assume?

    I'm at basically the end of Act 2 (I think. I've climbed The Cradle, but haven't beat the boss at the top) and my pace of progression has slowed drastically. It's a fantastic game and I'm going to keep pounding my head against this wall while making slow, painful progress. But yeah, boy howdy was I not expecting how difficult this game is! Some of the combat rooms are absolutely kicking my teeth in. And I'm so, so stuck on Forebrother Signis right now, my goodness.

    I still have a little backtracking to do, maybe some secrets (and hence upgrades, maybe?!) left to find, but it's getting to the point where I'm just going to have to git gud.

    Amazing game, but so, so hard!

  • That article reads like satire to me, but I don't think it's supposed to be satire.

    Like, the term "vibe coding" is derogatory, right? I certainly thought it was. But the article is using the phrase "vibe coding" as though it's a positive descriptor of a good thing. I don't think I've seen that anywhere else.

    Am I wrong? I must be. There must be large numbers of people who use the phrase "vibe coding" and don't mean it to be derogatory. I simply can't fathom that, honestly.

  • Yeah, I mean, fair enough. And bits of it (the fridge, for example) were legitimately horrifying. Still, I'm not sure that I personally would classify it as horror, overall

  • I hated Soma. I'm glad other people liked it, and it probably is worth playing for someone into horror games. But I sure didn't like it. I wanted to, I really did, I gave it a lot of my time and tried so, so hard to like it. But I absolutely hated it, at the end of the day

  • It was, but does it count as horror? I don't think I would call it horror. It's a really good game though, I really liked Control!

  • This is probably not what you're looking for, but I am absolutely loving my mullet with my curly hair. All the fun curly bits are long enough to be curly, but the annoying side pieces that like to cause trouble around my ears are much too short to be annoying. It rules!

    But I wouldn't call a mullet "beautiful". It's a pretty non-gendered style, which I like, but it's hard to call it "elegant", "beautiful", or anything like that. The adjectives that come to mind for me are "dirtbag", "australian", and "goofy".

  • I think killing animals for pleasure is wrong and you should stop.

  • I mean, I'm aromantic and have a partner. It's not like I don't love them, I do, intensely. I simply don't understand what the difference is between romantic and platonic love.

    Like, what's different about the love you have for a romantic partner than the love you have for a friend? Is it simply the addition of being sexually attracted to someone? So romantic love is friendship plus sexual attraction? What happens when the sexual attraction fades? Do you stop romantically loving your partner? Do you then break up because you're no longer sexually attracted to them? I just don't get it, frankly.

    Sexual attraction for me is so, so fickle, it comes and goes and never stays. If I tried to build partner relationships on sexual attraction, well, I'd never stick with one partner for long, I'd be breaking up with people constantly, and that sounds like a miserable way to live. Especially since I've found a person I get along great with, we have similar long-term goals, senses of humor that mesh great, they're everything I want in a life partner. I really don't think it's unreasonable for me to be married to this person, we've built our life together, why would I throw that away just because I don't really "get" romantic love?

  • Exactly! If you're going to write essays disagreeing with a thing, you gotta read (and understand) the thing you're disagreeing with!

  • You know why I'm actually grumpy that you're around, trying to stir shit?

    It's because I inevitably end up reading some of the tripe you post, and it's always so, so bad.

    Please read some more Marxist theory before you try to critique it, because critiques are meaningless if you don't understand the thought you're critiquing and you clearly don't understand Marxism very well at all.
